GAS INSTALLATION
Proceed once the vent installation is complete.
NOTE: All gas connections must be contained within the fireplace when complete.
1.Move the fireplace into position and secure to the floor through the 1/4" holes located at either side of the base.
2.The fireplace is designed to accept 3/8" gas supply line. The
fireplace is equipped with a 3/8" manual
3.Connect the gas supply in accordance to local codes. In the absence thereof, install according to the National Installation Code.
4.When fl exing any gas line, support the gas valve so that the lines are not bent or kinked.
5.Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water solution.
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the stove removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before
OPTIONAL WALL SWITCH
INSTALLATION
For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch may be installed in a convenient location. A 20’ length of millivolt wire is connected to the gas valve for the wall switch. However if a greater length is required route
lead length depends on wire size: |
| ||
| WIRE SIZE |
| MAX. LENGTH |
| 14 gauge | 100 feet | |
| 16 gauge | 60 feet | |
| 18 gauge | 40 feet | |

Conversion Kits
The mobile home appliance is fi eld convertible between Natural Gas (NG) and Propane (LP).
To convert from one gas to another consult your Continental dealer/ distributor.
FRAMING
Minimum clearance to combustible construction from fireplace and vent surfaces:
Framing | 0" to |
Finishing | 0" to rear, sides and bottom |
8" to top | |
All around the vent pipe | 2" |
Recessed depth | 23" |
Enclosure top | 55" from bottom of unit |
Clearance to ceiling | 84" from bottom of unit |
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body, it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would fi nish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and the vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local building codes.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this fi replace system.
When roughing in the fi replace, raise the fireplace to accommodate for the thickness of the fi nished fl oor materials, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere with the opening of the lower access door and the installation of many decorative flashing accessories.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face.
Combustible materials may be installed fl ush with the front of the fire- place but must not cover any of the black face areas of the fireplace.
